Escaped convict may be heading for Italy or Spain

The Czech Police suspect one of the two convicted murderers who escaped from a prison earlier this month is on his way to southern Europe. Roman Cabrada, a drug dealer who was imprisoned for the murder of a German mayor two years ago, is most probably heading for Italy or Spain, from where he will try to go to Thailand, a police spokesperson said on Wednesday.

The convicts escaped with the aid of a guard by hiding in a service truck. The other inmate, Rostislav Roztocil, who killed an Egyptian student, was arrested last week. He had been hiding at his sister's flat in Germany.
